The American Humanist Association, the oldest and largest humanist organization in the United States, has held an annual conference since its founding in 1941 so that humanists, atheists, and freethinkers can gather together for a weekend of informative lectures, networking, and fun activities. The year 2016 will be the 75th anniversary of the AHA's founding, and we're excited to celebrate with you! We're anticipating this conference to sell out, so be sure to book your conference tickets early.
Online Registration Ends Sunday, May 15. The last day to register by phone is Friday, May 20; call 800-837-3792 during normal business hours. A limited number of Full Registration, Partial Registration, and Day Passes will be available at the door.
Full Registration includes access to all plenary sessions, workshops, the Welcome Reception, the Friday Night Banquet, Saturday Luncheon, and Saturday Night Banquet with meals. Partial Registration includes all of the above without banquet meals (general seating for the banquets start at 1:00pm for the Luncheon at 8:00pm for the Night Banquets). Student Registration is similar to Partial Registration, but you must have a current student ID to be eligible for the rate. Day Passes (good for one full day at the conference without meals) are available for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday only.
Single-Session Passes (defined as one speaker/panel presentation) or Banquet Passes (general seating for the Friday Night Banquet, Saturday Luncheon, or Saturday Night Banquet) is limited to 3 for the entire conference) is available by phone only at 1-800-837-3792.
The conference schedule is now complete and we are no longer accepting proposals for additional speakers or entertainers. We received dozens of requests from speakers and we regret that we could not accept them all.
You have two options: Midway Airport (20-25 minutes to the hotel) and O'Hare International Airport (40-45 minutes to the hotel). Midway services Southwest, Delta, Sun Country, Volaris, and others. O'Hare serves American, Alaska, British Airways, Delta, Frontier, Jet Blue, United, Virgin America, Volaris, Westjet, and others. We strongly recommend you fly into Midway. It's a much easier airport to navigate, and it's closer to the hotel than O'Hare.
The conference will be held at:
Hyatt Regency McCormick Place Hotel
2233 S Martin Luther King Dr.
Chicago, IL 60616
The hotel does not provide a free shuttle to and from the airport. However, GO Airport Express offers shuttle service to and from O'Hare and Midway airports at a special rate for guests staying at the Hyatt Regency McCormick.
Public Transportation
The Chicago Transit Authority's "L" Trains are accessible from O'Hare or Midway. More information can be found here. A CTA map can be viewed here.
Directions from O'Hare Airport on the CTA via Blue Line:
1. At the Baggage Claim level look for the overhead signs "Trains to City." follow the signs down one more level through an underground pedestrian corridor. These signs lead to the CTA station.

Franz Adlkofer
This article is a stub. It identifies this as a work in progress by the ScienceCorruption.com journalists's group indexing the 14 million documents held at the San Francisco Uni's Tobacco Archive . You can help by adding material to expand the entry and by updating old reference numbers and Bates numbers. Documents were originally indexed by Bates numbers (which were sometimes duplicated), so this form of indexing later change to use a unique 8-digit alpha-number code. They have since changed their coding system again. So with some entries you will need to go to the site [[1] and type into the Search panel either the old Bates number or (occasionally) the old 8 digit alpha-numeric code. Please then update the Wiki entry for other users.
This article is part of the Tobacco portal on Sourcewatch funded from 2006 - 2009 by the American Legacy Foundation.
Dr. Franz Adlkofer (aka Professor Franz Xavier Adlkofer) is a professor of internal medicine in Germany who specializes in diseases partly or completely caused from environmental and/or behavioral causes. He was a tobacco industry consultant who worked closely with the Verband (German Tobacco Institute - also known by the initials VdC), and later equally as faithfully with the cellular mobile phone industry when they faced growing public concerns about the possible brain effects of microwave radiation from the proximity to the head of the early high-powered pulse-transmission (GSM) mobile phones.
He was both a boardroom Director of the tobacco industry's Verband and its Research Director at a time when the Verband was actively involved in creating misleading scientific papers and circulating disinformation about the health consequences of passive smoke (ETS or Environmental Tobacco Smoke).
He was clearly one of the main disinformation executives and global science recruiters for the tobacco industry in Europe. However his ethical stance appeared to be different from his associates in the USA and England, because it reflected the way in which the German industry itself dealt with the German government. Their relationship was much less antagonistic, and relatively more open than it was in the other countries.
Norbert Hirschhorn, [[2]] an Austrian-born American public health physician and a consultant to the World Health Organisation, wrote a long document in September 1999 called "Shameful Science: Three Decades of the German Tobacco Industry's Hidden Research in Smoking and Health." At this time only 500 tobacco documents had been released in the public domain -- but many had a focus on Germany.
His introductory remarks tell the story of ...
"... corrupt science in the service of a deeply flawed product. The selected quotations will astonish even those who have become inured to what has already been discovered, "in their own words."
Beyond the petty squabbles and unpleasant characters, the story can be boiled down to a few essential themes that thread themselves throughout the annotations.
- The company scientists had to struggle with the accumulating and on-rushing evidence that theirs is one of the foulest products (in the environmental sense) sold to be taken into human bodies. That struggle was seldom openly or honestly fought.
- Even as some of the scientists hoped, in vain, to create the "safer cigarette," company lawyers were focused entirely on avoiding litigation and loss when sued. An army of public relations experts, front-organizations, and corrupted consultants served the lawyers, not the truth; the companies, not the public.
- The Geriiian tobacco.scientists, led by the wily Professor Franz X Adlkofer, managed to integrate and ingratiate themselves with leading researchers, academics and government officials; even with some who were strongly anti-tobacco. This gave the German industry the prestige and time to carry out research, and the ability to influence policy not just in Germany but throughout Europe and other continents, even until today.
- The German scientists knew from the start that the true battleground was, and still is, passive smoking. Their worry was not so much whether smoking caused disease -- they knew early on it did -- but they were obsessed by the evidence that tobacco poisons released into the air could affect the health of nonsmokers; and they did everything they could to deny, distort, suppress, and finally ignore the overwhelming evidence.
[1] It is not surprising that Dr Franz Adlkofer turns up repeatedly in the next hundred-or-so pages of the full document.
Franz X Adlkofer was born in 1935. He received his doctorate from the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry in Munich in 1965, and got his post-doctoral education in internal medicine from the Free University of Berlin where he studied until 1976. From 1976 to 1992 Prof. Adlkofer worked for various industries, including the tobacco industry. A puff piece on him explains:
Since 1992 he served as Executive Director and since 2002 has been a Member of the Board of VERUM - Foundation for Behaviour and Environment in Munich. His special interest concentrates on the investigation of diseases caused by behaviour and environment. Until 2004 he lectured on this topic at the Free University of Berlin. Later, to investigate the biological effects of electromagnetic fields, Prof. Adlkofer organized and coordinated the EU-funded research project REFLEX between 1999 and 2004. [2]
Documents & Timelines
Note to document researchers: his name is also misspelled Adlkoper and Adelkofer.
1988 June 27 Report on the Indoor and Ambient Air Quality Conference (aka International Conference on Indoor and Ambient Air Quality held June 13-15 1988) This report was made to the executives of Philip Morris who had secretly funded the meeting.
The Conference, organized by Professor Roger Perry of Imperial College, London, was attended by approximately 200 individuals. Eighty papers were presented, and nearly half of those presentations dealt with environmental tobacco smoke (ETS).
Papers given at the Conference have been published and distributed under the title Indoor and Ambient Air Quality ( Selper Ltd., London, 1988.) In addition, fourteen selected papers appear in the June 1988 issue of Environmental Technology Letters. Copies of the proceedings and journal are availlable through Professor Perry. A copy of the Conference program is attached to this memorandum.On Monday, June 13, an article (attached), appeared in the (London) Times which reported that the WHO (World Health Organisation) had "withdrawn" from the Conference due to tobacco "industry involvement". (Dr. M.J. Suess of WHO, Denmark served on the Technical Review Committee for the Conference.)
The high-lights were:
- Numerous bullet points about the major speakers (They were almost all secretly paid tobacco scientists.) (See full explanatory document) This was the conference open to the media.
- Franz X Adlkofer (FRG); "Exposure of Hamsters and Rats to Sidestream Smoke of Cigarettes : Preliminary Results of a 90-day Inhalation Study" . In this 90-day subchronic inhalation study, no exposure-related changes in either clinical or hematological areas were noted . Light microscopy revealed no differences between exposed and nonexposed animals.
1988 June Adelkofer argued in a parallel-but-secret joint meeting of the executives from the worldwide tobacco companies (held at St. James Court in London) that the industry should stop developing "marketable science" for use in public relations to fight the secondhand smoke issue and instead should establish a safe threshold for exposure to secondhand smoke.

Brookings Institution Press
November 15, 2012
Since the financial crisis of 2008, the global financial system still is experiencing malaise caused by high rates of unemployment; a lingering, unresolved supply of foreclosed properties; the deepening European debt crisis; and fear of a recurrence of the bank turmoil that brought about the Great Recession. All of these factors have led to stagnant economic growth worldwide.
In Rocky Times, editors Yasuyuki Fuchita, Richard J. Herring, and Robert E. Litan bring together experts from academia and the banking sector to analyze the difficult issues surrounding troubled large financial institutions in an environment of economic uncertainty and growing public anger. Continuing the format of the previous Brookings-Nomura collaborations, Rocky Times focuses largely on developments within the United States and Japan but looks at those in other nations as well.
This volume examines two broad areas: the Japanese approach to regulating financial institutions and promoting financial stability and the U.S. approach in light of the Dodd-Frank Act. Specific chapters include Regulating the Shadow Banking System, Convertible Debt Requirement, Advanced Economies.
Contributors: Gavin Bingham (Systemic Policy Partnership, London), Charles W. Calomiris (Columbia Business School), Douglas J. Elliott (Brookings Institution), Richard J. Herring (Brookings Institution), Kei Kodachi (Nomura Institute of Capital Markets Research), and Morgan Ricks (Vanderbilt Law School).

15,000 Faux 'Paul Frank' Pirate Pajamas Seized at L.A. Port (Could Have Fooled Us)
Julius just got a little uglier.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
They must really be hurting for new things to counterfeit in Indonesia these days.
U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officers at the Los Angeles/Long Beach port just intercepted a 20-foot terminal container filled with -- get ready to time-travel back to seventh grade here -- 14,900 pairs of Paul Frank pajamas. You know, the ones with the super hideous football-mouthed monkey all over them; the ones you only liked, and made your mom buy you, because everyone else was wearing them.
We didn't even know they sold those things anymore. So out! And indeed, CBP spokesman Jaime Ruiz says the entire lot of fakes would have only fetched...
... $537,000, if shoppers had even believed the mock designs in the first place, and shelled out the full Paul Frank price for them.

Subtract the $92,700 the pajamas are actually worth, and the cost of shipping, and this massive counterfeiting endeavor doesn't even turn over half a mil. Like we said -- desperate times in Indonesia.
Supervising officer Elizabeth Ortega tells the Weekly that the CBP already had its eye on the shipment, based on info provided by its sender, before it arrived at port. And when inspectors noticed the (painfully turn-of-the-century) monkey logos staring up at them, they called up Paul Frank, Inc. itself to do some fact-checking.
"Typically when we do see a trademark, we'll reach out and request [the company's] assistance in authenticating," Ortega says. The company then advises officers "to see if the stitching is appropriate, or if there's some type of hologram."
In this case, she explains, "we sent out pictures to the trademark holder. Based on the stitching and the way the actual trademark looks, it wasn't exactly how their trademark was recorded."
Behold, some Indonesian's interpretation of our childhood desperation:
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
Huh. Looks like Paul Frank to us. Guess we never really examined the designs themselves too closely -- more just the gaze of pure envy on the puggy little mugs of the other girls at the sleepover.
Ortega understands. "There's a lot of trademarks out there that children are so fond of," she says. "Your average consumer just kind of looks at it at a glance."
And spokesman Ruiz can relate: "I'm probably old-fashioned. I'd probably know Mickey Mouse. I know that name!"
But to anyone who knows anything about modern(-ish) kids apparel, the designs are a far cry from the originals -- which are way less busy, with fewer pirate hats and unfurling scrolls and other weird embellishments the Indonesians apparently added for flair.
As if that crap could get any uglier. (The original Paul Frank, who split from his L.A. company in 2005, silently agrees. We're sure of it.)
"Piratical merchandise robs U.S. companies of their original ideas, innovations and revenue,'' Todd Owen, CBP's director of field operations in Los Angeles, told City News Service today, probably not intending the awesome pirate pun and "original ideas" riot.

"Tumultuous, vibrant, tragic and over too soon." --Newsday
Handwriting is Michael Ondaatje's first new book of poetry since The Cinnamon Peeler. The exquisite poems collected here draw on history, mythology, landscape, and personal memories to weave a rich tapestry of images that reveal the longing for--and expose the anguish over--lost loves, homes, and language, as the poet contemplates scents and gestures and evokes a time when "handwriting occurred on waves, / on leaves, the scripts of smoke" and remembers a woman's "laughter with its / intake of breath. Uhh huh."
Crafted with lyrical delicacy and seductive power, Handwriting reminds us of Michael Ondaatje's stature as one of the finest poets writing today.

In the dry lands
every few miles, moving north,
another roadside Ganesh
Straw figures on bamboo scaffolds to advertise a family of stilt-walkers
Men twenty feet high walking over fields crossing the thin road with their minimal arms and "lying legs"
A dance of tall men with the movement of prehistoric birds in practice before they alight
So men become gods in the small village of Ilukwewa
Ganesh in pink,
in yellow,
in elephant darkness
His simplest shrine a drawing of him
lime chalk on a grey slate
All this glory preparing us for Anuradhapura
its night faith
A city with the lap and spell of a river
Families below trees around the heart of a fire
tributaries from the small villages of the dry zone
Circling the dagoba in a clockwise hum and chant,
bowls of lit coal above their heads
whispering bare feet
Our flutter and drift
in the tow of this river

Recent reviews
Good 3.6 /5 from 27 reviews
We were in Ooty for three nights and four days. Wanted to stay at the Sterling close to race course, but booked Fern Hill by mistake. But there was not much to regret. In fact it worked out great. We were able to take the cabs (arranged by Sterling) to the city as well as stay away from the pollution of Ooty at night. This place is more suited for families with kids/small children. We went during christmas 2015 and the noise of the kids kept us awake for longer than we wanted. Definitely recommend for family with kids. Not recommended for business travelers (no wifi in the room and distance from the city); not recommended for couples without kids.
The shower mixer was really bad , either you get really hot water or really cold water . very bad ...
Cleanliness not upto mark
Its wordless. Rocking. My cheers to all the staffs especially housekeeping people such as Mary etc... I also would like to include Ms. Malini who gave an extraordinary service to us.
Fernhill is a nice hotel, enjoyed my stay there. Couple of points: 1. NO lifts: there are no lifts in the hotel. If you specific requirements plan accordingly. 2. Breakfast in Fern restaurant is quite good, but keep an eye on your table. You may find somebody else sitting there, once you came back from buffet. 3. Staff is quite friendly and very helpful. Overall, I had a very pleasant stay there.

by Tim Charters, NSWA Vice President of Governmental AffairsJune 27, 2016On Friday, the Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-TX) rolled out the Republican Better Way Tax Reform Blueprint. This blueprint is not a legislative package, but instead an overarching blueprint describing the broad agenda which they would hope Congress would consider next year once the new President and Congress are seated.
While the proposal is broad, it also is fairly complicated on how it would impact the producers and operators of the National Stripper Well Association. First, the tax proposal directly appears to plan to eliminate percentage depletion. Full Story
May 12, 2016
National Stripper Well Association Chairwoman Darlene Wallace said the new rules, on top of historically low oil prices will cripple stripper and marginal well owners and operators.
OKLAHOMA CITY Today the Obama Administrations Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released the first Clean Air Act regulations that directly limit methane emissions from domestic oil and gas operations. The National Stripper Well Association (NSWA) fought for an exemption of small producers from the effects of these rules, but today the exemption for low-producing wells was eliminated.
These new rules will cripple stripper and marginal well owners and operators, and on top of historically low oil prices, we are looking at total disaster, said NSWA Chairwoman Darlene Wallace. By requiring the addition of new costly equipment requirements and expensive leak detection the economics within the oil and gas industry as a whole will be fundamentally changed, severely and forever.
Wallace said, the President has already committed the United States to be fossil fuel-free by 2100 and the overwhelming goal is to drive the nation in that direction. However, during this time of record low prices, the President's focus on pushing more expensive and costly regulation will continue to harm jobs and our economy.
The methane rules imposed on the oil and gas sector are designed to provide the President support and backing for a significant U.S. commitment to fighting world climate change, Wallace said.

Let's Internet
A tour of the latest from the web...
- A rather random rumor that the Cubs may have some interest in A's shortstop Bobby Crosby.He's set to make $5.25M this year, so you know he wouldn't cost much in prospects and the A's would probably have to eat at least half his salary. If he's willing to be a utility guy, he'd be a step up from Aaron Miles. Baseball Prospectus projects Crosby at a .243 EqA versus Miles .232. Defensively, Crosby's been a bit above average (according to UZR) to below average (according to BP) at shortstop but probably has a strong enough arm to handle third base. Of course, he'd be replacing Joey Gathright or Micah Hoffpauir on the roster - unless Lou comes through with a six-man bench - and in that case he'd be replacing Bobby Scales, Jake Fox, Luis Rivas or Corey Koskie, in which we'd finally have an acceptable scenario for acquiring Crosby. That is unless the Cubs wise up quickly on this Aaron Miles fiasco that is about to be unleased upon unsuspecting fans.
- Caption fun with Ted Lilly at Big League Stew. Comment #3 has to be the winner.
- Dave Pinto runs through the Cubs expected offensive output. Marcel Projections and the Lineup Tool come up with 5.15 runs per game with the projected lineup, 5.42 with the optimum lineup. The Cubs scored 5.31 runs per game last year.
UPDATE: One wonderful reader pointed out that the probable lineup has Fukudome batting second which(to steal kmokeefe's line) is improbable (at least to begin the season). Let's try it on our own using the lineup of Soriano, Fontenot, Lee, Bradley, Ramirez, Fukudome, Soto, Theriot and the pitcher as suggested by Lou (actually Lou suggested Aaron Miles batting second, but we'll do that next).
That comes up with 5.29 runs per game. The optimal lineup of Bradley, Soto, Fukudome, Ramirez, Lee, Soriano, Fontenot, Pitcher and Theriot comes up with 5.469 runs per game. Flipping Miles for Fontenot results in: 5.025 runs per game and 5.317 with the computer-generated optimal lineup.
- Lou took on Steve Phillips...Lou will win.
- Baseball Analysts takes a look at the All-Time One Teamers - the best player at each position to play for only one club. I checked on Ryne Sandberg(80.8) and Ernie Banks (80), but both are out-WARP'd by the author's choices of Charlie Gehringer (85.3) and Cal Ripken Jr. (120.7). I was quite surprised to see Lou Whitaker(85.7) with a better career WARP-3 than Sandberg; I think I'll need to add him to my subjective Hall of Fame class.
UPDATE #2: Clearly I need an editor, as it was pointed out that Sandberg played 13 games for the Phillies in 1981.
- The miracles of science. We'll be taking donations for TCR's own $10,000 electrolysis machine in April.
- Split-squad action today, Cubs travel to Goodyear to take on the Indians; Carl Pavano vs. Chad Gaudin to start. Milton Bradley will DH in that game as well. Here's the lineup from Muskat:
CF Joey Gathright, SS Aaron Miles, 1B Derrek Lee, DH Bradley, LF Jason Dubois, RF Brad Snyder, 3B Bobby Scales, 2B Nate Spears.
Jeff Samardzija will lead the team in Las Vegas tonight versus the White Sox. MLB.com shows radio for the Indians game and TV for the White Sox game.
Re: Let's Internet
the probable lineup used to calculate the 5.15 has fukudome hitting 2
i find that improbable.
Re: Let's Internet
Did they do a lineup projection for a the games Soriano,Bradley and possibly Aramis miss? It's better than average that Soto's off days might make us trot out a
Reed Johnson
Re: Let's Internet
So you are saying that it is better than a 50-50 chance that Soriano, ARam, and Bradley are all hurt at the same time?
Someone needs to take a class on probability.
Here are the average games played by Bradley, ARam, and Soriano over the last three seasons, respectively: 94, 146, 134. That means that there would be approximately a 42% chance that Bradley would miss a game, a 10% chance ARam would miss a game, and a 17% chance that Soriano would miss a game.
That would mean that there would be less than a 1% chance that all three would miss the same game.
If you combine that with the chance that Soto would get an off-day on the same day (based on Soto's games played last year), you get a .09% chance that all four would miss the same game.
But sure... "It's better than average."
Re: Let's Internet
While the chances of all 3 being out at the same time is very very low, based on those percentages what is scary is that the chance of at least one of the three being injured for a given game is like 56%! Yikes!
Re: Let's Internet
Hey WISCGRAD, as the resident statistician, I was hoping you might be able to help out with this question I had after reading big_lowitzki's post -
Are the odds that all three will be out at the same time affected at all by the increased probability that the games each will miss are consecutive? Saying Bradley has a 42% chance of missing a game seems a little misleading, because if he's injured he might have a 100% chance of missing, say, the next 30 games. It's not like flipping a coin where the odds of missing a game reset each day.
Also, this probably isn't something you would know, but I wonder if anyone has ever done a study on the likelihood of a player getting injured in a given month. Intuitively, it might seem more likely for a player to get injured in April due to cold weather, and maybe August due to being worn down from the grind of playing all summer. If there is an increased likelihood of guys getting injured in certain months, and we have a few injury-prone players, that might mean that there's an even better chance of them all being injured at the same time.
All right, I've thought about this too much now.
Re: Let's Internet
This was more to the point I was trying to make. It isn't a huge leap to conclude that.
1. Milton Bradley misses somewhere between 35-60% of every season
2. Alfonso Soriano has spent at least 1 stretch on the DL in each season he has been in Chicago.
So it is better than an average bet that those guys will miss some time.
Mark Prior and Kerry Wood both had stretches where they were durable and healty. However we saw what happened when we built our roster around the plan that they would be a healthy 1 and 2.
Re: Let's Internet
So it is better than an average bet that those guys will miss some time.
Sure... "some time." But that is different than saying that it is an average bet that they will miss time together. And even more different than saying those two, along with Aram, will miss time together. And even MORE different than saying that those three will miss time together along with Soto.
Re: Let's Internet
I thought about that exact question too, but the probabilities wouldn't change. Because while there is a chance that Bradley would miss the first four weeks of the season and Soriano would miss say the last week - meaning they never overlap - it could also be that they both get injured at the same time and ALL of their days overlap. So if you change the unit from games to say weeks or months, the probabilities still say the same.
Basically, what you've pointed out though is that our "less than 1%" answer is a bit misleading. Rather than saying each season we should expect 1 or 2 games in which all 3 are injured, we would really expect this to never happen in like 9 of 10 seasons, and in 1 of 10 to see a two-week span where all three are on the DL.
Re: Let's Internet
FWIW (not much), Excel's FORECAST function has the following predictions for games played in 2009 based on their games played going back to 2001 when each of them became full-time players:
Bradley - 101
Soriano - 124
Aramis - 138
I'd love to see Bradley in the 120-130 range, but this is probably acceptable for the NL Central, right?
Re: Let's Internet
Bobby Crosby?
Re: Let's Internet
Re: Let's Internet
Here's the problem...though Crosby was already going to be shopped, he's already said he wants to be traded because he doesn't want to be a backup. So why trade for an expensive, shitty and pissed off SS?
Re: Let's Internet
I suggest the A's trade Crosby for Ronnie Cedeno and Garrett Olson...so that they can flip Olson for Peavy.
Scott Eyre still broke?
Re: Let's Internet
I finally got a response from Cubs.com on my waiting list position.
I have numbers 27406 and 27405. Anyone want to do a 2 for 1? JD, I know you do...
Re: Let's Internet
Why two numbers? Still 32,921 for me, I'll swap...
Re: Let's Internet
I'm around 19K-something. When this came up a few months ago, I calculated that, at the rate I'd moved up over the last 2.5 years, it'd take me another 3,000 years to have a shot at season tickets.
Re: Let's Internet
Yea, i'll need ever longer. Can you leave your spot on the waitlist in your will?
The cubs just need to build a new, huge stadium that has 100,000 seats, Wrigley is a dump (ducks)...maybe i'll have a chance then.
Re: Let's Internet
Just wait for them to start sucking again. We'll probably move up faster.
Re: Let's Internet
Or, give the economy another couple years of being in the shitter, and I bet you'll see your number start to move up. I'm guessing season tickets are one of the first things to go for a lot of people/businesses when money starts to dwindle.
Re: Let's Internet
While that is most likely right, if they cant afford their season tickets (the companies, people who have them now) there will be no way in hell I can afford them! But I'll make it happen if my number ever comes up. I'm assuming to climb 30 thousand spots (which will most likely never ever come up) but if it did it'll be 40 years from now. Right after retirement...with some money coming in from retirement...sounds like a match made in heaven.
Re: Let's Internet
I was on the list and forgot my account. So I contacted them and they said they didn't have a record of me and I should sign up again. I recently contacted them again and they sent me both numbers...but they're right next to each other so that doesn't really make sense.
Re: Let's Internet
That second link is a MUST SEE!!
It's 3/44 but Vasgersian is a tool!
DH Bradley
I noticed you left out Milton's first name in your lineup. He was the only one.
Can we refer to him as "DH" from now on?
Re: DH Bradley
Re: Let's Internet
I'm pretty sure Miles isn't going anywhere, but how would you propose getting rid of him if you could?
To Rob or anyone else.
Re: Let's Internet
Have you seen Taken? He'd fetch a pretty penny in the human trafficking scam.
Re: Let's Internet
First road trip to Milwaukee, tell Prince Fielder that Aaron Miles is, in fact, made up entirely of veggie burger.
Problem solved.

*Pedro Martinez - 2IP, 3H, 2ER, 1BB, 2K (Dominicans lose 6-1 to Baltimore)
*La-T-Roy Hawkins - 1IP, 2H, 1ER
*JJ Putz - 2/3IP, 3H, 3ER, 2BB, 1K
Lastly, through 5 1/2, South Africa has scored 6 runs. It's not newsworthy, but I'm just stunned.

"Like the Chapman deal for Cubs from on-field POV, wish I didn't now have to feel lousy following an otherwise likable Cubs team." @jonahkeri
pretty much sums up my feelings
You mean Yankees?
Cards lose!
You do have a point. The TheoJed certainly would need to address this in a transparent way. Milton Bradley was no help to the team.
FWIW, the Cubs would get a compensation draft pick between the 1st & 2nd rounds (around #35) if they extend a Qualifying Offer to Chapman post-2016 (probably about $17M), Chapman declines, and then he signs with another MLB club before next year's draft.
This all assumes Chapman doesn't want to be a free agent and possibly sign a $20MM+/year deal. We all know free agents get overpaid, sometimes dramatically (Hello, JayHey!). Not sure why Chapman would agree to the extension. If i'm is agent, I would tell him I could get I'm a $100M deal as a FA.
I'll root for the uniform and imagine it's left-handed Rod Beck or Randy Myers out there I suppose.
Amen to this. I guess it's gonna happen and I'm gonna have to suck it up but I really despise domestic abusers with every bone in my body and cannot stand them on any team I root for.
I just prefer they don't acquire players that choke their wives/girlfriends.
So you'd rather go with Blown Save guy, when you can trade a prospect who is blocked for one piece that could get you over the top to the Big Dance? That is pretty old thinking. This is not a move that they cannot recover from if it goes south. But the upside is potentially historic.
I'd prefer it not happen too.
it's a hell of a blockbuster, but it's for a guy who pitches 1/3rd of a season at an extreme premium considering the guy being traded and if the early extension $$$ rumors are true.
it's one of those things that is bringing a guy at the top his game, but something is nagging me that this trade piece could have been put to better use.
a huge part of me is all "hell yeah, top of the line producer"...another part of me is "hmm, that for that?"
Still don't want. Kinda hope they can't work out the extension.
obviously not, and I'm sure they did their homework...just hope they have some better answers than the Yankees
Chapman 12+ Career WAR. Currently 4.7:1 k-BB. With Rondon/Chapman/Strop/Nathan/Montgomery/Wood...Its the best pen I can recall other than Sutter or Lee Smith handling things themselves.
Its gonna suck if he gets injured, and it appears he's not the greatest of characters.
But, he'll have another Cuban to hang out with on the team.
I agree with the names you mention but there are lots of names being tossed around still and there's that small matter of Chapman agreeing to the extension.

The Hagiography of Kievan Rus' - Harvard Library of Early Ukrainian Literature v. 2 (Hardback)P. Hollingsworth
Hardback Published: 01/07/1989
- Not available
Among the finest products of early Ukrainian literature were the Lives of the first Rus' saints, including Boris and Glb, Feodosij of the Caves Monastery, Avraamij of Smolensk, and Ol'ga and Volodimer. Drawing on Byzantine, Church Slavonic, and Latin literary traditions, the Rus' hagiographers fashioned religious narratives that were at once traditional and tailored for a specifically Rus' audience. These hagiographical works, as well as a number of related texts, are now translated into English and collected in a single volume for the first time. Paul Hollingsworth provides a lucid introduction that discusses each saint and his or her cult in the historical as well as social contexts and examines the literary and textual features of the Rus' vitae. The translations are accompanied by copious historical and philological notes, an extensive bibliography, a map, and several indexes.
